Point Pleasant Rail Bridge, Railway bridge between Point Pleasant, West Virginia and Kanauga, Ohio.
The Point Pleasant Rail Bridge spans 3,925 feet across the Ohio River with metal-pinned Pennsylvania Through Truss span and Parker truss span approaches.
The bridge, completed in 1886, marked an achievement in construction safety as no workers lost their lives during the entire building process.
The structure represents the industrial development of the Ohio River valley, connecting two states through rail transportation since the late 19th century.
The Kanawha River Railroad operates freight services across this bridge, maintaining an essential transportation link between West Virginia and Ohio.
After the Silver Bridge collapse in 1967, this railway bridge provided commuter passenger service with scheduled departures between Point Pleasant and neighboring cities.
